My mongoDB is hosted on X box and Angular-Spring Application is on say Y box. When both are on local, my application works fine, but on this server level configuration I'm getting below issue.

HTTP Status 500 - Request processing failed; nested exception is org.springframework.dao.DataAccessResourceFailureException: Unable to connect to any servers; nested exception is com.mongodb.MongoServerSelectionException: Unable to connect to any servers

type Exception report

message Request processing failed; nested exception is org.springframework.dao.DataAccessResourceFailureException: Unable to connect to any servers; nested exception is com.mongodb.MongoServerSelectionException: Unable to connect to any servers

description The server encountered an internal error that prevented it from fulfilling this request.

uhm, i've experienced something similar to this with postgresql, was a problem of timeout trying to connect the app with the database, are you hosting them on a private server? – Paulo Galdo Sandoval
its in private network. – surbhi bakshi
maybe it's a problem with ssl, did you tried to connect to your db from a tool? just too see if it works – Paulo Galdo Sandoval
I tried accessing mongodb using SimpleMongoDbFactory and now its working fine, we were trying through MongoClient and MongoTemplate both was giving the above error. – surbhi bakshi
that's great, consider to post it as an answer – Paulo Galdo Sandoval

By default, MongoDB bind to local interface only, it will restrict the remote connections. So to publish your remote server and make it available outside of localhost you should update mongod.conf with

bind_ip = 127.0.0.1,192.168.1.1,<remote_server_ip>,....

The error was location of jar file. I'm using Apache tomcat and jar should be kept there. Initially I thought SimpleMongoDbFactory solved my issue, later I realized it was due to jars.
